Along with being a "complete solution," NVIDIA even claims PureVideo HD will be a necessity for Blu-ray and HD-DVD playback on desktop and home theater PCs. A chart from NVIDIA's presentation includes a "worst case scenario" benchmark run on a high-end Intel Core 2 Duo system. Rendering full 30 FPS 1080p video in software pushed the machine's CPU utilization to 100%, the company said, and caused the video to drop frames. Meanwhile, enabling PureVideo HD acceleration allegedly cut CPU usage down to 70% and allowed smooth, skip-free video rendering. PureVideo HD won't do all the work, though; NVIDIA says the technology still requires at least a dual-core processor to help the graphics card along.
